Autumn Camping is Great in the Bitterroot – And There are Choices

The Bitterroot National Forest has closed a few campgrounds and turned off water services in advance of freezing temperatures, but don't let that stop you from getting out into the nearby forests for a day hike or some overnight camping. Fire danger has lessened and campfires are allowed, but PUT THEM OUT when you leave your campsite. We'll list the camping opportunities in the three Ranger Districts of the Bitterroot National Forest.

Stevensville Ranger District:
Bass Creek Recreation Area

Charles Water Campground - Services and $10 nightly fees are in effect until October 1, when it closes.

Larry Creek Group Site - Reservations until October 1, when it is "first come - first serve" until November 30.

Blodgett Campground - 7 Campsites open until December 1, depending on weather. No water service. Garbage - Pack it in, pack it out.
